I am going to be installing Yosemite on a HP Z400 that has a Xeon W3635 and I am replacing graphics with an R9 270x. The Z400 is coming in on Monday and I was wondering if It would be a good idea to record my entire process and upload the video to help others that may be having trouble? Would anyone be interested in this sort of video and I will also try El Captain and do the same if people say they would be interested

Very interested. I have an HP Z400 and have installed Yosemite and El Capitan using Clover. With El Capitan also using Enoch. All done with help from members of this Board.

Do you have any threads you would recommend I look at? I've done a lot of research the past week or so and I have had success on a couple other machines. I've looked at the Z400/z600/z800 one

read carefully and you will find your answers ================ from page 1 to 26  :thumbsup_anim: good luck :hysterical: :hysterical:  

What Rockey says. Everything you need can be found in the Z400/z600/z800 Thread. Rockey was the first person I am aware of to get things working with Clover after being successful with Enoch Chameleon.

Well so far i have clover working great except usb isn't working and i have no clue how to fix :( I've installed the kexts that i used with my chameleon boot loader and I've tried using USBBusFix but it doesn't work. I mainly got this machine so that i could develop iOS apps and now i can't debug via usb :( at least there are iPhone Emulators on OS X


I will go through my installation process.

  1. I tried with vanilla yosemite installer that i downloaded with my other mackintosh that was running Mavericks a couple years ago. I could get it to boot to installer with clover but it wouldn't recognize my hard drive.
  2. I used Niresh's Yosemite Zone 10.10.1 and install went smooth only used verbose.
  3. Installed kexts that I got from the z400/z600/z800 installation guide
  4. Updated to 10.10.5 through App Store and it went fine.
  5. I was booting with USB up to this point so I installed Clover in ESP(Had to use this guide: http://www.hackintosh.computer/?p=89 )
  6. At this point I ran into issues with USB. Clover doesn't work with USB but my chameleon boot loader did.
  7. Chameleon randomly stopped working for me (Still waiting for root device) so now I have to use Clover and PS/2 stuff from an early 2000's dell

Dear Jaymack,

 

My PC is Hp Z400 Workstation, CPU X5650, BIOS 3.60, Nvidia GTX 960

I want to install High Sierra dual boot with Windows 10.

 

Would you mind helping me? I have some question.

 

1. HDD/SSD should use MBR or GPT mode?

2. USB installer should use GPT or MBR?

3. Would you mind sharing your current config, kext and dsdt patched?

 

Thank you!
